Congratulations, Diane. Whoopee.
Hooray for Diane Ravitch, a well deserved recognition for our nation’s greatest public school advocate.
Congratulations! You deserve this and much more! Anne O’Neill Kellers
An honor well-deserved!
Not only self evident, but not to forget, essentially a whole new career at an age when most think about a quiet life. And need I mention gently kicking folks with a bad knee – worthy of a ranking near the top.
And very well deserved. Bravo!
Nice work. What do you think of #8, David Coleman? http://www.politico.com/magazine/politico50/2014/david-coleman-08.html#.VAiFa8V7Kk8
Congrats Diane You are my hero . Keep writing 🙂
WELL DESERVED INDEED!!!! We knew this. Now others should become aware of this too. Hopefully by such recognition the goals for which you are working will become more well known.
Dear Diane, This honor is most deserving! Due to your insight, knowledge, time, dedication, commitment and extreme passion for teachers and teaching, I am on the “cutting-edge” of education issues in the U.S. Being out west, specifically Reno-Sparks, NV, you are prone to being isolated and buffered from the topical issues that drive the education arena. I wish more educators would wake-up and understand what is being done “to them” vs. “for them” by our leaders in Washington. I appreciate all you do to keep us informed and knowledgeable about the topical issues in education. Congratulations on a job well done! Bless you, Dr. Debbie Feemster, Reno-Sparks NAACP

Teach to the student
Not to the test
The latter’s imprudent
The former is best
oops, got an extra n in Diane somehow
You are making a HUGE difference. Many of my former students, now teachers, are FB friends. Since I regularly post your blog and others, they are becoming more engaged in the politics of education. Once a teacher…..
I can only echo the sentiments expressed in the previous comments. This recognition is well-deserved. Thank you so much for speaking truth to power.
Congratulations!
